They don't have to waste much in terms of monetary resources... The companies can simply license Google PigeonRank technology and let pigeons scan the email for leaks. The only cost would be licensing to Google and food for the pigeons, and possibly the computers they peck at if they're not planning on giving them used computers to work with.
It makes sense to me. IBM Rapid Restore & Recovery, at least on my boxes, uses Opera as the browser. It makes good business sense to switch to an open source browser with reduced licensing costs, and it's good for their developers because they can customize the browser in the recovery partition specially for recovery needs. By using Firefox, IBM can also score points with the open source community... evidenced by this posting on slashdot.
Couldn't/Shouldn't Dell look into other Linux server packages? After all, that is the nature of the free market. If Dell drags Red Hat and, say, Turbolinux, or god forbid... SCO... into the fray, that would make the bottom line for companies looking to switch to Linux even more appealing.
This is just my experience, but my IBM Thinkpad T42 2378FVU (1.7Ghz Pentium-M Dothan, Radeon 9600) gives me plenty of juice to finish a DVD movie, and lasts a shave over 4 hours. It doesn't do half bad on benchmarks either. I got 19522 on Aquamark3, 9728 on 3DMark2001SE, and 2515 on 3DMark2003. That's on AC power, but if you set your battery on max drain (a bit over 2 hours or so of battery life) it can maintain that performance.
By putting it in suspend when I don't need it, my Thinkpad lasts all day at work.

10. breaking off the contact part of a PCI card while trying to extract it. The PCI slot is still unusable to this day. Not that I use that old computer anymore though. 9. Sitting on a brand new Pentium 4 accidentally, bending all the pins 8. Not getting a UPS/surge strip/voltage regulator. Over time, the voltage irregularities caused my power supply to literally catch on fire. 7. Installing Windows. 6. Falling for the "hey, try rm -rf/" trick 5. Dropping a monitor down the stairs 4. Taking over an NT domain accidentally by running samba as a PDC 3. Leaving a P4 laptop running inside a closed, insulated laptop case. Literally everything overheated. 2. "Accidentally" adding DELTREE C:\/Y to a Windows NT Logon script. Ah, the good old senior pranks. 1. Posting this list on Slashdot.

802.11 is the IEEE standard, and the 'b' section of that pertains to a wireless network capable of 11 MBps (the 11 in 802.11b has nothing to do with the 11Mbps theoretical throughput, just a coincidence.) In reality, 802.11a, b, and g operate in the 2.4 GHz range, like the 2.4GHz cordless phones.
Today's medical research is conducted by companies, but also by education foundations like universities. Even though there aren't really grants for space research, perhaps the engineering developments for space travel should also be researched at universities. I'm sure there are lots of grants out there that are applicable to research in space technology, and this would get a lot of college students involved in the area for the future, when space travel becomes a more commonplace thing.

Because it runs Linux, it must be worth the $2000. Welcome to /.!
